This is a list of all currently-obtainable characters seen in the game. The game periodically expands upon this list, releasing characters through new levels launched every other week as well as special events.

Word reaches the warriors that a vampire residing within the Cavern of Earth is responsible for the rot that plagues the land around Melmond. The warriors go to the cavern to investigate.

The Warriors of Light prevailed against the vampire that dwelled within the Cavern of Earth, but the rot upon the land remained. Hearing rumors of a sage named Sadda, the heroes sought an audience with the hermit who explained that the vampire was merely the servant of a being who dwelled further inside the Cavern of Earth and gave them the Earth Rod, opening their path to even greater danger...

When the warriors brandish the Earth Rod, a stone slab at the back of the vampire's room splits, revealing a stairway. Steeling their resolve, the warriors press onward.

In the innermost reaches of the Cavern of Earth, the Warriors of Light encountered an ominous orb from which the lich who had been draining the life from the earth emerged. Through hard pressed, the warriors prevailed and with the lich's defeat, restored the light of the Earth Crystal.

The Circle of Sages at Crescent Lake tell the warriors of the crystals and of Chaos. The Warriors of Light make their way to Mount Gulg to face the fire within.

The Warriors of Light traveled to the foot of Mount Gulg by canoe. Entering the mountain, they passed through caverns flowing with magma, until the reached the final chamber. There they faced Marilith, Fiend of Fire, awoken two hundred years before her time by the destruction of the Fiend of Earth. Surviving Marilith's scorching sheets of flame, the warriors triumphed and restored the light of the Fire Crystal.

Two hundred years ago, a shrine sank to the bottom of the sea. Now the mermaids who live there are in danger of extinction. Bearing the Oxyale to help them breathe, the Warriors of Light make for the Shrunken Shrine.

Armed with the knowledge they obtained in Lufenia, the Warriors of Light make their way to the Mirage Tower. There, they use the Warp Cube to enter the Flying Fortress.

The Elemental Fiend of Wind, Tiamat, who stole this land from the Lufenians four hundred years earlier, was waiting for the warriors on the topmost level of the Flying Fortress. Beating back Tiamat's savage assault, the Warriors of Light prevailed and restored the light to the last of the four Crystals.

Firion has returned to Altair together with Gordon, when he learns that Hilda has been captured by the Dreadnought. It falls to Firion to pursue the ship and rescue the princess!

Firion's party crossed a desert and infiltrated the Dreadnought, freeing Hilda and Cid from their cell to escape on Cid's airship. Continuing further into the Dreadnought, the party cast the Sunfire into the engine when the Dark Knight appeared. Though the knight's voice was oddly familiar to Maria, there was little time to dwell on this mystery as explosions enveloped the Dreadnought.

Firion returns to Altair to discover Queen Hilda acting strangely. She is revealed to be the Lamia Queen in disguise, whom the party defeats before heading to the Palamecian Coliseum where the real Hilda is being held captive.

Firion's team will need one more item in order to gain entry to the Mysidian Tower. They head for the Tropical Island in search of the Black Mask.

On the Tropical Island Firion's team braved a vine-choked cavern. In the depths of the cavern they defeated the Big Horn, obtained the Black Mask, then set course for the Cave of Mysidia where the key to opening the tower could be found.

Having defeated the Fire Gigas, Firion's team continues up to the fourth floor of the Mysidian Tower.

On the fifth floor the party once again encountered a mage. This time, the mage transformed himself into an Ice Gigas and attacked. Braving his icy assault, tee party defeated the gigasand continued on to the next floor.

By the time Firion's party returns to Castle Fynn, the Emperor's Cyclone has left a path of ruin in its wake. Mounting the last Wyvern of Deist, the party plunges into the whirling vortex.

Braving the Cyclone's savage winds, the wyvern carried Firion's party into the center of the storm where the Emperor was waiting. Defeating his guards and golem, the party brought the Emperor to his knees at last.

During the celebration of the Emperor's defeat, the party learns that the Dark KnightLeon has taken the throne. Firion and the others head for Palamecia Castle to confront him.

Riding Cid's airship, Firion's party had entered Palamecia Castle to confront Leon, when the late Emperor rose from the grave and revealed his plan to destroy the world. Ricard let the rest of the party escape on the wyvern as he charged the risen Dark Emperor, sealing his own fate along with that of the castle.

Leon joins the resistance, vowing to defeat the Dark Emperor. The party enters the Jade Passage into Pandaemonium.

Firion's party entered the Jade Passage and fought their way into Pandaemonium in the ruins of Palamecia Castle. They bore the Dragoon's sacred sword Excalibur, a gift from Elina to aid them in defeating the Emperor.

A young adventurer has wandered deep into the Altar Cave opened in the great earthquake. The epic journey of the Warriors of Light begins here...

Having survived goblin attacks and battled with the Great Tortoise, the Luneth finally made his way to the altar of the Wind Crystal. The crystal enveloped him in light, and in an instant, he understood what must be done. And so the newly anointed Warrior of Light set out to drive back the darkness and restore light to the world.

The people of Kazus have been transformed into ghostly apparitions by the Djinn, a being of fire and darkness. Now the Warriors of Light travel to Castle Sasune in search of a mythril ring to banish the Djinn and seal him away.

The Djinn's curse extended beyond Kazus into the walls of Castle Sasune itself. King Sasune informed the Warriors of Light that Djinn made his fastness in the Sealed Cave, but defeating him would not be simple: the king's daughter, Princess Sara, held the mythril ring they needed to banish the Djinn, and she was nowhere to be found. Fearing she may have been kidnapped by the Djinn, the Warriors of Light hurried to the Sealed Cave to rescue her.

Princess Sara had not been kidnapped: she set out for the Sealed Cave on her own to banish the Djinn with the mythril ring. The Warriors of Light join her as she attempts to put an end to the Djinn's curse.

At the height of the pitched battle with the Djinn, Sara held the mythril ring aloft and he vanished in a whirl of mist--the power of the ring had sealed him away in the cave once more. After their return to Castle Sasune, the Warriors of Light placed the ring in the waters of a sacred spring, and the Djinn's curse on the people was broken. In thanks, King Sasune gave the Warrios a magic canoe, and they set out once more.

The once peaceful town of Vikings' Cove has faced numerous attacks by the Nepto Dragon, which has grown violent of late. A pall lies over the village, and the Warriors of Light venture to the Nepto Temple to seek out answers.

After searching the Nepto Temple, the Warriors of Light discovered that the statue of the Nepto Dragon was missing one of its eyes, a glimmering jewel. The Warriors shrank themselves to enter a passage in the statue's mouth, and soon found the Giant Rat responsible for the jewel's theft. They defeated the rat and replaced the jewel in the statue, thereby calming the Nepto Dragon who entrusted them with the Fang of Water before returning to its slumber.

The party arrives in the Dwarven Hollows to find the dwarves in a furor over the theft of one of their precious Horns of Ice. At the dwarves' request, the party heads for the subterranean lake to retrieve the horn.

As the waters recede following the death of the Kraken, the party is caught in the collapsing Cave of Tides. They wake in the In at Amur, miraculously alive, yet find their airship Enterprise in chains.

The Warriors of Light head underwater in the Nautilus to obtain Noah's Lute in order to awaken Unei.

The Warriors of Light obtained Noah's Lute from the Temple of Time. The lute's haunting melody awoke Unei, one of the great Magus Noah's students, from where she slept in a mountain shrine. Unei agreed to aid th party and entrusted them with the Fang of Fire, one of the fans needed to open the way to Xande's Crystal Tower. She then led them toward an ancient ruin, where they might find the Fang of Earth.

Using the Nautilus and Invincible, the Warriors of Light arrive at Bahamut's Lair, to the west of Tozus.

The Warriors of Light arrived at Bahamut's Lair, where the King of Dragons dwells. Though the memory of their defeat to Bahamut as still fresh, this time, they prevailed. With a growing sense of their own power, the Warriors of Light embarked on their next journey.

The Warriors of Light to the sixth level of the tower in search of the Forbidden Weapons. They proceed clockwise through the rooms till they come to a dead end, where they discover a sword floating above a stone.

Venturing further into the Forbidden Land of Eureka, the Warriors of Light pass through a door into a chamber with paths leading left and right. Down the right-hand path, they find a blade of immense power.

The Warriors of Light reach Xande's throne of power, but fall victim to the curse of the five wyrms. In their hour of need, allies summoned by the spirit of Doga come together to cure their affliction.

The Warriors of Light discover the Dark Wind Crystal in the World of Darkness, but find it guarded by the creature Cerberus.

Upon the defeat of Cerberus, a figure emerged from the Crystal before the Warriors of Light. He claimed to be one of the four Warriors of Darkness who fought to stop the Flood of Light a millennium ago, and spoke of the delicate balance between the worlds of light and darkness, which are drawn into the Void when they overlap. He informed the Warriors of Light that only they could stop the Flood of Darkness, and pledged to aid them in this task.

With three Dark Crystals already in his possession, Golbez now aims to take the fourth and final Crystal. The party seizes this opportunity to make an assault on the Tower of Babil and retrieve the stolen Crystals.

The last Crystal lies within the Sealed Cave. Before the party attempts to claim the Crystal, they follow Rydia's advice and go to the Passage of the Eidolons in hopes of securing the Eidolons' help.

Rydia led the way through the Passage of the Eidolons to the Feymarch, where they requested the assistance of the Eidolon King and Queen, Leviathan and Asura. After proving themselves in battle, they secured the Eidolons' help and made for the Sealed Cave where the final Crystal awaited.

Cecil and his allies board Cid's newly repaired airship, the Falcon, to enter the Sealed Cave and claim the final crystal.

Inside the Sealed Cave, the party had defeated Demon Wall and claimed he final crystal when they heard Golbez's voice, and Kain was once again possessed. Under Golbez's influence, Kain wrested the crystal from Cecil and took it away to his master.

The mages of Mysidia have raised the Lunar Whale. Now it carries Cecil's party to the Red Moon, where they will face Bahamut.

The party found Bahamut within the Lair of the Father on the Red Moon. Having proved their worth by defeating Leviathan, the party challenged Bahamut and prevailed, and Bahamut lent his strength to Cecil's party.

As the Giant of Babil wreaks destruction around it, Cecil's party makes their way toward the heart of the giant and the CPU.

Cecil's party reached the heart of the Giant of Babil and succeeded in destroying its CPU. Golbez is furious, until Fusoya breaks Zemus's control over him, and Golbez remembers that he is Cecil's brother, and son of the Lunarian Kluya.

The ferry between Carwen and Walse cannot operate without wind, but accounts of a Wind Drake sighting in town inspire he party to head for North Mountain in hopes of finding an alternate means of transport.

The party steps through a teleporter in the Walse Meteorite and finds themselvse transported to Karnak. There they are mistaken for allies of the wrwolf attempting to steal the Fire Crystal, and they are imprisoned in Karnak Castle.

Bartz and the party arrive at the Library of the Ancients in search of clues about the last Crystal, but they soon learn that Cid's grandson, Mid, has gone missing. They head down into the depths of the library to find him.

Bartz's party witness a massive ancient city rise from beneath the ground. In order to enter the city, they must upgrade their airship to fly higher, so they head for the Tycoon Meteorite in search of the adamantite they will need to make the modifications.

Bartz's party has been knocked to Gloceana by the barrier around Castle Exdeath. There, while searching for a way off the continent, they discover a moogle.

At Lenna's suggestion, the party saved a moogle who had fallen into an underground river. Lenna spoke to the terrified moogle, who led the to the Moogle Village. The mogles used their telepathy to tell the Castle of Bal that Bartz's party had arrived at the village. Hearing this news, Krile flew to Gloceana on her wind drake and brought the party back.

In keeping with her grandfather Galuf's wishes, Krile goes to fight Exdeath, and now joins Bartz's party on their way to Castle Exdeath.

With the aid of the spirits of Galuf and Kelger, Krile destroyed the illusion shrouding Castle Exdeath, allowing Bartz's party to see it for what it was. Inside, they faced the powerful summon Carbuncle. Carbuncle agreed to aid them after they proved themselves worthy by defeating him in combat.

Bartz's party is making their way through the castle in search of Exdeath when Gilgamesh appears and challenges them for a fourth time.

During battle, Gilgamesh revealed that h'd actually begun looking forward to facing Bartz's party, going so far as to admit to a kind of fondness for them. He was visibly touched, too, at learning of Galuf's death. Yet Gilgamesh's repeated failure to destroy the party did not go unnoticed by Exdeath, who banished Gilgamesh to the Void for his incompetence. The party continued after Exdeath, going even higher in the castle.

On the top floor of the castle, Bartz's party faces Exdeath at last. The showdown begins!

Following a vicious battle, Bartz's party defeated Exdeath. But immediately after, the remaining three crystals shattered in a blast that knocked the party unconscious. When the party awoke, they were surprised to find themselves by Tycoon Castle--a castle they thought they had left behind them in the other world.

A celebration welcoming back the princess is underway at Castle Tycoon as Bartz leaves with Krile to discover the reason they have returned to their own world.

Bartz and Krile set out from the castle and headed for the pirates' hideout, where they were reunited wit the chocoboBoko, who gave them a ride. However, they soon ran afoul of an antlion nest in Death Valley, to the west of Tule. Though they defeated the antlion, they were having trouble getting out of the nest until Faris arrived and helped them. The three continued on their journey together.

Exdeath revived and entered the interdimensional rift in order to claim the power of the Void for himself. Now Bartz's party must gather the twelve legendary weapons if they are going to stand against him.

After their reunion with the sage Ghido, Bartz's party went in search of the four tablets they will need to claim the twelve legendary weapons. With the Sealed Tome Ghido gave them in hand, the party traveled to the pyramid where the first tablet lay, only to be attacked by gargoyles guarding the entrance. Defeating the creatures, they made their way past many traps into the depths of the pyramid and obtained the tablet.

Bartz's party retrieved the first tablet, releasing Bahamut. Now, the King of Dragons awaits them upon the North Mountain.

Bahamut had lain dormant, transformed into a peninsula, but was freed upon the merging of the worlds. Bartz's party ventured to the mountain where Bahamut waited, and there defeated him. Bahamut acknowledged the heroes as his new masters, and lent them his strength.

Fully prepared for their battle against Exdeath, Bartz's party enters the Interdimensional Rift in the sky above Castle Tycoon.

Through the Interdimensional Rift, Bartz's party discovered a vast desert. Passing through the desert, they came to a ruin, eventually reaching a forest within the Rift. At the entrance to a cave beyond the forest, they defeated Calofisteri before continuing on their journey.

Separated from the others after a dive into raging waters, Sabin heads for the mines to rejoin the party. On his way, he witnesses an Imperial attack on Doma Castle, and decides to investigate the Imperial Camp.

Locke has come to South Figaro to disrupt the Empire's occupation. Trapped under watchful Imperial eyes, he finds an unlikely ally in Celes, an Imperial general. Together they escape through the cave beneath the town.

Sabin, Shadow, and Cyan have escaped the Imperial Camp and wandered into the forest, where they discover a mysterious train. No sooner do they board to investigate than the whistle blows and the train lurches into motion!

Terra's magic opens a Sealed Gate to the Esper World, and the espers spill out, driving away the Imperial forces. Fearing the espers, the Empire sues for peace, and asks for the Returners' help in tracking down the scattered espers before they cause more damage.

Celes' party leaves Terra in Mobliz and continues on to the port town of Nikeah, where they encounter a bandit named Gerad trying to enter Figaro Castle. The bandit looks suspiciously similar to Edgar...

When Celes approached the frozen esper, it suddenly awoke and attacked. Though the esper proved a formidable foe, the party emerged victorious. Believing the party's noble goal of ending the War of the Magi, the esper Valigarmanda became magicite, lending his power to their cause.

Descending the Narshe Cliffs, Celes' party enters the Yeti's Cave in search of Mog's friend.

Celes' party discovered magicite deep within the Yeti's Cave, but when they took it, a yeti came roaring out at them. As wild as his reputation, the yeti attacked, only calming once the party had defeated it. At Mog's orders, the yeti, Umaro, joined the party.

Celes' party continues their search for the power to defeat Kefka. At the Opera House, they find the Impresario with a problem: a dragon has moved in and taken up residence on the stage!

Celes' party stepped on stage at the Opera House to find the Earth Dragon, one of the Eight Legendary Dragons. Dodging the beast's fierce attacks, they prevailed, and left the Opera House with the Impresario's sincerest gratitude.

Following information gleaned at the Cultist's Tower, Celes's party burrows Figaro Castle to travel underground. Passing through a cavern, they make for the Ancient Castle.

In the throne room of the Ancient Castle, the party discovered the esper Odin's petrified remains. When they touched it, the stone shattered, becoming magicite. Continuing their search, they found stairs leading down to another floor, where they encountered and defeated the Blue Dragon, another of the Eight Legendary Dragons. Deeper still, the party found a petrified statue of the queen, whose tears lent the Odin magicite even more power.

Celes' party stays the night at Doma Castle, yet in the morning, Cyan does not wake. To find out why, the party must enter Cyan's dreams.

Celes' party entered Cyan's dreams in pursuit of the three Dream Stooges, who claimed to have taken Cyan's heart. Though they were separated upon their arrival in the dream, the party soon regrouped, and was able to defeat the Dream Stooges. From there, they ventured deeper into Cyan's dream.

Celes's party reaches a junction at Kefka's Tower. They proceed through the center door, only to find the Guardian blocking the way forward.

The Guardian cycled through its battle program, hammering the party with a range of abilities they had faced in previous fights. They had barely weathered the dizzying array of attacks, yet in the end, they prevailed over this formidable foe. Nursing their wounds, they set off again to confront Kefka at the top of the tower.

After defeating the Guardian, the party comes across a statue of a Fiend, one of the Warring Triad.

The Fiend leaped to attack as soon as the party touched the statue. Mightiest of the Warring Triad from which all magic originates, the Fiend made for a tough opponent, and a frantic battle unfolded. Ultimately felling the ancient god, the party proceeded through the door beyond the statue, and found themselves in an area with three switches.

Aerith is off to the Forgotten Capital in order to stop the Meteor from destroying the world, with Cloud and the others close behind.

Aerith was praying at the Water Altar, deep within the Forgotten Capital when Cloud arrived just as Sephiroth's blade took Aerith's life. Cloud held her lifeless form in his arms as Sephiroth smiled cruelly on. The party fought off Jenova LIFE and committed Aerith's body to the lake, swearing to make Sephiroth pay.

Shinra gathers the four Huge Materia in order to harness the power of the planet and use it to destroy the Meteor. Cloud's party rushes to stop them. Their first stop: an underwater Mako Reactor.

Defeating the Carry Armor sent at them by Reno at the dock, Cloud's team stole a submarine and chased after the Shinra submarine carrying the Huge Materia. They tracked and sank their target, only to learn that another Huge Materia was on its way out of the Junon airport. The party recovered the sunken submarine's cargo before hurrying to Junon.

Cloud and the others hurry for a rocket loaded with a piece of Huge Materia in Rocket Town, ready to launch at the Meteor.

Cloud's party fought their way past Rude into the rocket where Cid, eager to go to space, debated whether or not to launch--until Palmer made his decision for him by launching the rocket remotely. The party recovered the Huge Materia from inside the rocket, then took off in the escape pod, leaving the unmanned rocket to collide ineffectually with the Meteor. Shinra's plan had failed.

Cloud and the other have come to Yuffie's home of Wutai, where Yuffie prepares to brave the trials of the Wutai Pagoda.

Yuffie prevailed in the trial of the pagoda, defeating the five gods: "Gorkii" who is Strength, "Shake" who is Speed, "Chekov" who is Magic, "Staniv" who is Combat, and "Godo" who is Wisdom. With this, she won the water god's materia. Her perseverance made a strong impression on the elders of her homeland, many of whom had long since given up hope.

Zack is sent to the village of Banora where Genesis and Angeal grew up, but he finds it overrun with copies of Genesis out to stop him.

Zack fought his way past countless waves of Genesis Copies and Guard Spiders, finally locating Angeal's mother in the village. Brushing Zack's fears aside, she appeared convinced that Genesis was incapable of harming her. Though dubious, Zack continued exploring, until he was called over to a factory on the outskirts of the village by Tseng, a Turk also sent on the mission. The factory was being used by the enemy, and there Zack came face to face with Genesis and Angeal.

Zack heads back to Angeal's family home, hoping to find him there. Sure enough, he comes cross Angeal, sword held aloft over his mother's lifeless body.

Zack started after Angeal, but was blocked by Genesis, who summoned the mighty Bahamut to battle in his stead. After edging out a victory over Bahamut, Zack chided Genesis for violating the honor of a SOLDIER, but Genesis merely sneered, telling him SOLDIER members were nothing but mosnters, and they had neither dreams nor honor. A single black wing then erupted from his back, and he flew off, leaving Zack to ponder his words.

Squall has undergone rigorous training as a student at Balamb Garden Military Academy. Now, to earn a chance to become a member of SeeD, Garden's elite mercenary force, he and Quistis head for the Fire Cavern.

Squall and Zell are assigned to a three-man squad led by Seifer for their SeeD field exam. As they approach the exam site in the Duchy of Dollet, the shells whizzing overhead make it clear that they are entering a true war zone.

X-ATM092
Squall and his party make their way toward the beach to withdraw before their ships pull out, but Biggs has one final plan to stop them from escaping.
The X-ATM092 pursued Squall's squad as they made their way to the beach. The squad managed to stay just ahead of the relentless spider mech, and after a harrowing chase through the streets of Dollet they boarded the waiting landing craft, putting an end to the brutal field test. The SeeD operation in Dollet ended in success.

Having passed his final exam, Squall becomes an official member of SeeD. At the graduation party, he meets Rinoa, with whom he reluctantly agrees to dance. Quistis takes Squall aside to talk after the party, and as they head back to their quarters, they hear a woman scream.

The source of the scream was a lone woman being attacked by an insectoid creature, which the party eventually managed to defeat. Strangely, the woman addressed Squall and Quistis by name, though neither of them recalled ever having met her. Who could she be?

Now full members of SeeD, Squall and the others receive their first deployment orders, and with them, a mysterious lamp from Headmaster Cid...

When they used the magic lamp Cid had given them, the party was plunged into darkness, and Diabolos appeared before them. The battle that ensued was no easy victory, as Diabolos wielded devastating gravity attacks. Yet at last they defeated the powerful foe, and had a new Guardian Force--Diabolos himself--for their trouble.

Squall and his party make their way toward Timber, site of their first assignment. Once there, they are to assist the Forest Owls resistance in abducting President Deling.

Squall's path again crossed with Rinoa's, a member of the Forest Owls. Together they succeeded in infiltrating the president's train, but the president was not aboard: in his place was a monster mimicking his appearance. Undeterred by the false lead, Rinoa suggested a target for their next operation.

In Squall's dream, Laguna and his squad scout the Esthar excavation site in Centra. They encounter heavier-than-expected defenses as they advance through the tunnels.

Laguna's squad was cornered at the top of a cliff by Esthar troops, and Kiros and Watts had been gravely wounded. Laguna hurled his men into the sea to safety, but he faltered as he prepared to jump after them and tumbled down the cliff. When Squall awoke, he found that Zell, Selphie, and Quistis had all had the same dream, but none of them knew what it meant...

New orders from Headmaster Cid await Squall when the party reaches Galbadia Garden. Now they must find a way into General Caraway's mansion, which leads them to the Tomb of the Unknown King.

Passing the solder's test to enter Caraway's mansion proved easy enough, but deep within the labyrinthine Tomb of the Unknown King awaited a greater challenge: the brothers Minotaur and Sekhret, watchers of the tomb. Defeating them earned Squall and the others the Brothers Guardian Force. They then returned to Deling City, where a fateful mission awaited them.

Zidane's party heads down the trunk of the tree supporting Cleyra, hoping to find whatever's stopping the sandstorm. While they are gone, black mages enter the city from the Red Rose and commence their attack.

Steiner and Marcus cooperated to break free of their imprisonment, rejoining Zidane's party. They encountered Zorn and Thron in the castle chapel, overcoming them with their combined strength, and finally found Garnet, who was unconscious, having been stripped of her summons by Brahne's orders.

Learning that Kuja's lair is to be found on the Outer Continent, Zidane's party heads into the Fossil Roo, the ancient excavation that connects the continents together.

Zidane's party was making their way past the dangerous traps along the Fossil Roo, when Brahne's assassin, Lani, appeared before them. Lani attacked, willing to take the Silver Pendant from them, even if it meant Garnet's life, but Zidane and the rest drove her off. Continuing through the Fossil Roo, the party finally arrived at the Outer Continent.

Zidane's party has arrived in the Black Mage Village on the Outer Continent. Learning of Kuja's whereabouts, they head to the Conde Petie Mountain Pass.

Zidane and Garnet got married so that they might pass along the Conde Petie to Sanctuary. While on the mountain path, they encountered Eiko, the girl who caused a commotion back in town during the ceremony, and they helped her get unstuck from a branch. When Eiko saw Zidane, it was love at first sight, and she offered to lead them to her own village of Madain Sari, home of the Summoners.

Zidane's party follows Kuja's trail to Esto Gaza, but Eiko is nowhere to be found. The party next follows a tip taking them to Mount Gulug.

Zidane's party arrived at Mount Gulug in search of Kuja and Eiko and braved its winding, trap-filled passages as they made their way inside. Following a rope down a well to the lowest level, the party was assailed by a Red Dragon. Defeating the creature, they followed the hole it had opened to go even deeper inside the mountain...

Inside Mount Gulug, Zorn and Thorn prepare to extract the eidolons from Eiko at Kuja's orders.

Just as Zorn and Thorn were about to extract the eidolons from Eiko, Mog revealed her form as the eidolon Madeen and drove the jesters off. The party chased after Kuja, only to find their way blocked again by Zorn and Thorn, now transformed into a horrendous creature by Kuja's magic. Figting their way past, the party rescued Eiko and continued onward, where they found Cid's Queen Hilda.

Having learned from Queen Hilda that Kuja comes from another world called Terra, Zidane's party travels to Ipsen's Castle in search of a means to open the way to Terra.

Upon the party's arrival at Ipsen's Castle, Amarant challenged Zidane to a race to find the mirrors that the race, as he tried to leave he was caught in a trap. Upon being rescued by Zidane, Amarant was forced to reconsider his earlier opinion of him, and his own obsession with power. The party collected all four mirrors before leaving the castle behind.

Each of the four mirrors from Ipsen's Castle belongs to a corresponding elemental shrine: water, fire, wind, and earth. Zidane's party prepares to visit the four shrines.

Taharka's final words led Zidane to the realization that they must go to each of the four elemental shrines simultaneously, so the party split into four teams of two. Zidane and Quina went to the Earth Shrine to find it protected by a guardian, as did the others at the remaining shrines. Defeating the guardians, each team placed their mirror on the shrine altar, opening the path to Terra through the Shimmering Island.

When Zidane's party reaches the Gate to Space, their surroundings suddenly change, and they are set upon by another Chaos guardian.

After defeating the Lich in battle, Zidane's party headed through the Gate to Space, reaching a point before the birth of Gaia. Zidane inquired about the nature of memory, and Garland's lingering consciousness explained that all memory is connected to a single source, just like life itself, and this can be traced back to the crystals that govern all. Leaving Zidane with a final request to defeat Kuja, Garland expressed gratitude for being granted life, and then his voice faded to nothingness.

It's the day after Sin's attack on Port Kilika, and now Tidus and his party make for Kilika Temple.

The party encountered fiends left by Sin on the temple steps, but working together they defeated them. Wakka complimented Tidus on how he handled himself in battle, and for the first time Tidus considered becoming one of Yuna's Guardians. Within the temple they met the summoner Dona, who had no kind words for Yuna, but Yuna didn't rise to the bait. After passing the test within the Cloister of Trials, the party set out for Luca.

Tidus' party reaches the top of the mountain to find the Sanctuary Keeper waiting for them.

As they walked through the mountain pass, Tidus ran his hands over the countless Fayth embedded in the rock wall and learned that Zanarkand and all who lived there, including Tidus, are but dreams of the Fayth. When the dreaming ends, they will all fade. The Fayth then told the conflicted Tidus that they wanted him to end the dream. After defeating the Sanctuary Keeper on the peak, the party looked down on the ruins of Zanarkand. It was the end of their journey at last.

After discovering the Submerged Ruins from the airship, Tidus is determined to exact vengeance on the creature that attacked him before. Together with Wakka and the rest of the party, he dives down to locate the lair of Geosgaeno.

Sin is reborn, and ascends into the sky above Bevelle. Tidus's party prepares to launch a frontal assault against the creature.

Tidus brought the airship up to face Sin in combat. The party pelted the beast with relentless attacks, until it finally opened its great maw. Seeing their chance, Tidus's party piloted the airship into Sin, but they sensed the presence of Seymour within.

The party is confronted by Seymour, who allowed himself to be absorbed by Sin in the hope he could control it from within. Taking on a monstrous form, Seymour closes in for the attack.

Seymour claimed the party had no hope of destroying Sin now they had defeated Yunalesca, but Tidus refused to back down. Seymour mocked the futility of their attempt to stop him, but they emerged victorious nonetheless, after a heated battle against the creature he had become. As Yuna began the ritual to send him to the Farplane, Seymour declared that Spira's woes would not be undone by his defeat, and Tidus vowed to finish off Sin once and for all.

Yuna and her companions manage to infiltrate Chateau Leblanc, but their cover is soon blwn. Though facing heavy resistance, they manage to locate the stolen sphere fragment.

Yuna's party located the sphere, only to be set upon by Leblanc, Ormi, and Logos. The party emerged victorious, and joined the two sphere halves together. The repaired sphere showed images of Vegnagun, a colossal weapon that lay dormant beneath the city of Bevelle. Leblanc claimed she had ben tasked with destroying Vegnagun by Youth Alliance leader Nooj. She suggested that the party aid her in dismantling the weapon, proclaiming the new coalition before they had a chance to answer.

Vaan has snuck into Rabanastre Palace, where he meets a dashing man and his viera [[Fran (Final Fantasy XII)|partner]. The two help Vaan escape on their airbike before careening down to a crash landing in the Garamsythe Waterway.

Ashe and the others are taken back to the Leviathan where, thanks to Vossler's treachery, Judge Ghis takes the Dawn Shard.

Judge Ghis's test of the Dawn Shard's power unleashed the Mist within the nethicite, driving ran into a Mist-frenzy that enabled Ashe and the others to escape. Defeating Vossler, they escaped the Shiva and the Mist explosion that claimed the Dreadnought Leviathan. They then retrieved the now-depleted shard.

Vaan's party visits Fran's homeland, where they learn that Fran's younger sister, Mjrn, is missing. The party leaves for the Henne Mines to search for her.

In the mines, Fran and the others found Mjrn seemingly possessed, when they were attacked by Tiamat. After the battle, a piece of magicite Mjrn held fell from her hand and broke, and she regained her senses. The party learned that she had bee used by the Empire as a test subject for their manufacted [sic] nethicite. Still, this first-hand knowledge of nethicite's danger was not enough to dissuade Ashe from her own desire for its power.

After her audience with the Gran Kiltias on Mt. Bur-Omisace, Ashe continues her search, heading toward the Stilshrine of Miriam where the Sword of Kings with the power to destroy nethicite is said to lie.

In search of the Sword of Kings with the power to destroy nethicite, Ashe and the others fight their way through the Stilshrine of Miriam.

In the Stilshrine of Miriam, Ashe claimed the Sword of Kings. Vaan suggested that they try it on the Dawn Shard, to see if it truly could destroy nethicite, but when Ashe approached the shard, Mist surged around her, and a phantasm of Rassler appeared, motioning as if to stop her. Ashe swung the sword, but missed the shard. It was Balthier who realized that, in Ashe's heart of hearts, she could not bear to lose the nethicite.

As Vaan and the others emerge from the Stilshrine, Sword of Kings in hand, they see the Imperial armada cross overhead. Mt. Bur-Omisace is under attack!

Vaan and the others hurried back to Mt. Bur-Omisace, but arrived too late the save the Gran Kiltias Anastasis from Judge Bergan. Bergan attacked the heroes, but was beaten back until he was no longer able to withstand the Mist boiling from the manufacted nethicite inside him. After the fight, Al-Cid suggests that Ashe flee to Rozarria, but she chooses to head toward the Empire instead, knowing that they must destroy Vayne's nethicite.

Under rule of the Sanctum, the people of Cocoon knew peace and prosperity. The story of this realm begins as a train carrying Lightning speeds towards the Hanging Edge...

Lightning's assault derailed the train, plunging everything around her into chaos. She and Sazh battled their way through Sanctum forces towards the center of the battlefield, defeating the unrelenting Manasvin Warmech along the way. Sazh had thought Lightning was one of the Sanctum soldiers, leaving him puzzled why she would oppose the Purge. She quipped that she wasn't a soldier anymore, and pressed onward...

Lightning and her party have fallen to Lake Bresha, a body of water turned to crystal by the magic of the fal'CieAnima. Now branded l'Cie, they flee from their PSICOM pursuers.

Lightning and the others were shocked by the l'Cie brands that had appeared on them. As they fell from the Pulse Vestige, they saw a vision of Ragnarok attacking Cocoon, which Snow took as a sign they must defend it. Lightning refused to believe this, and accused Snow of siding with the fal'Cie that turned Serah to crystal. They later discovered Serah's crystal, and Snow decided to stay by her side and hold off the incoming PSICOM forces while Lightning and the rest pressed on.

Unable to abandon Serah's crystal, Snow finds himself surrounded by PSICOM forces. As they close in, his l'Cie brand blazes with light...

As the light from Snow's l'Cie brand faded, the Shiva sisters appeared and laid waste to the PSICOM soldiers. They then turned their attention on Snow, sensing the doubt in him and wishing to test the worthiness of the one who had summoned them. Snow withstood their onslaught, and claimed their power as his own. Exhausted by the battle, he was approached by a mysterious l'Cie woman who ordered her troops to take him captive.

Though Lightning and her companions had managed to escape aboard an airship, their victory is short-lived, as PSICOM shoots them down over the Vile Peaks. Undaunted, Lightning and her companions press on...

There was a rift in Lightning's party and they split into two groups. Hope was amazed to learn that Lightning risked her life to save her sister Serah by boarding a Purge train. Tired of babysitting Hope, Lightning left him behind, though he soon met up with Sazh and Vanille. They eventually caught up with Lightning, but were thrown into combat against Dreadnought, a Pulse automata. They emerged victorious, but Sazh and Vanille chose to withdraw, while Lightning and Hope continued their journey.

As Lightning and Hope move forward, Lightning grows increasingly convinced that Hope is only slowing her down, and in her anger she summons Odin...

Together, Lightning and Hope defeated Odin, and after the battle Lightning noticed her l'Cie brand had changed. Lightning apologized to Hope for getting angry at him, and allowed him to stay with her on her journey. Meanwhile Snow was still being held captive by the l'Cie Fang and the Cavalry, where he learned of the plan to execute the Pulse l'Cie.

Thoughts of his son Dajh weigh heavily on Sazh's heart as he and Vanille arrive at Nautilus. Sazh realizes that preventing Dajh from becoming a Cie'th may mean that Sazh himself, as a Pulse l'Cie, has to die.

Lightning's party makes their way through Taejin's Tower, defeating and defusing the tower's attempts to stop them. Boarding an elevator, they now reach the uppermost level.

After defeating the fal'Cie Dahaka on the uppermost level of Taejin's Tower, Lightning's party was finally on their way to Oerba. But when they arrived, they found not the landscape of Vanille and Fang's memories, but a bleached-white waste. They descended toward the village to see what had become of their home with their own eyes.

Our heroes have met Minifilia, antecedent of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and agreed to join their number. As they investigate an incident near Ul'dah, they encounter a primal.

While following up on the incident, our heroes were taken captive by the perpetrators, where they learn they are to be given by the Amalj'aa to the primal Ifrit. Defeating Ifrit, our heroes were successful in freeing everyone else who had been captured by the Amalj'aa. The incident, then, was somehow related to the summoning of the primal. Our heroes went on to tackle the primal problem as members of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.

In order to rescue Tietra, the party makes their way across the Lenalian Plateau toward the Corpse Brigade's main stronghold, Ziekden Fortress. There, once again, they encounter Milleuda, and the battle is joined.

After defeating Milleuda, Ramza's forces set off for Ziekden Fortress to find Tietra. Along the way they are confronted by Wiegraf, leader of the Corpse Brigade.

Milleuda was sister to Wiegraf, and he was prepared to lay his life on the line to avenge her. Though Ramza sought a peaceful resolution, Wiegraf would not listen, calling him naive. He claimed it was Ramza's brother Dycedarg who had ordered the kidnapping of Marquis Elmdore. As the tide of battle turned in Ramza's favor, Wiegraf told him to find out the truth for himself, then stole away. With the battle at an end, the party hurried to Windflat Mill, but Tietra was nowhere to be found.

Ramza and the others arrive at Ziekden Fortress, only to find it besieged by Ramza's brother Zalbaag. Gragoroth threatens to slay the captive Tietra unless the aggressors leave.

Gragoroth was holding Tietra hostage, and threatening to detonate the gunpowder stores within unless the invaders withdrew, but Zalbaag ordered Argath to fire anyway, mortally wounding both Tietra and Gragoroth. Enraged, Delita took up arms against Argath, and Ramza also joined the fray, having lost all trust in his brother Dycedarg. A pitched battle ensued, and in the end Argath was bested by the party. Moments later, the fortress was destroyed by gunpowder that Gragoroth had ignited. Delita was last seen disappearing into a cloud of dust and smoke, cradling Tietra's lifeless form.

Ramza breaks from the Order of the Northern Sky and flees, taking on the mantle of a mercenary. The story returns to the present day, where Agrias and the others are pursuing Delita, who has kidnapped the princess.

Ramza and the others reach Lionel Castle, but as they are about to enter they are stopped in their tracks by a familiar voice.

As Ramza prepared to open the castle gate, his path was once again blocked by Gaffgarion, whose forces quickly surrounded the party in an ambush. During the battle that followed Ramza dealt a decisive blow to Gaffgarion, and bade farewell to his former ally. He then proceeded into the castle to save Princess Ovelia.

Ramza's party locate Cardinal Delacroix, who claims the princess has already left to take her place on the throne. The cardinal invokes the power of the auracite and transforms into an aberration.

The party was set upon by Cardinal Delacroix, whom the auracite had transformed into Cúchulainn, the Impure. Ramza could not fathom why the auracite, which he thought existed to eradicate the forces of evil, had turned the cardinal into such a monstrous creature. Claiming this to be the power of the Lucavi that once ruled the world, the cardinal marveled at the godlike power now at his disposal. Ramza and the others eventually bested Cúchulainn in battle, and he was sealed within the stone again, lamenting that he met his demise before his master could return.
